after my slightly embarrassing admission yesterday, i thought i’d remind you that i do have an “indie” sensibility as well. it’s not all divas and disco!
you might not have heard about spoon, an austin-based veteran rock act who just released their most commercial album to date, ga ga ga ga ga. some might call it selling out, i call it getting my attention.
lead single “the underdog” utilizes fiesta-ready horns and a simple guitar riff alongside very useful hand claps and a hummable chorus. the result is an irresistible pop-rock stomper that has helped the band breakthrough to a more mainstream market (the album debuted at no. 10 on billboard last month).
visit spoon’s myspace to check out their sound, peruse their tour dates and even watch a video or two. you’ll be glad you did.
